I was walking down Broadway New York, New York Tony Llama boots and a Stetson hat Proud to be a country boy Just then a messenger called me Rasta man on the road He said, "You gotta get the rhythm of the islands Help me carry my load" You've got to get into Reggae Cowboy Shuffle them boots on the street Get into Reggae Cowboy Feel that Reggae beat Hey, hey, hey, hey His message hit me like a brick man First I laughed, then I cried Somewhere between Jamaica and Nashville I realized, I'd live my life These days I sit in my garden Soft refrains on a steel guitar Beautiful rhythms on the trade winds Blowing in to a Florida farm They tell me get into Reggae Cowboy Shuffle them boots on the street Get into Reggae Cowboy Feel that Reggae beat Hey, hey, hey, hey You've got to get into Reggae Cowboy Get into Reggae Cowboy Get into Reggae Cowboy Get into Reggae Cowboy
